Ok....I've practiced quite a bit of hot yoga....so much, it would seem, so that now all of my yoga clothes AND yogitoes smell wretched.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  If so, how do you wash your yoga clothes so that they don't smell?  I'm sorry ahead of time if the answer to this is blatantly obvious.

Baking Soda Detergent. Amr & Hammer makes some. Works like a charm. I even got the laundry workers at my place to use it for the stank clothes of the fishermen!

I agree with the above comment - baking soda detergent, and if you live in a warm, dry climate, line dry your clothes. The sun works like a charm every time.

Wash your workout clothes in hot water with baking soda. Make sure the water is hot not warm and do a cold rinse. Odor is caused by bacteria. The only way to kill B.O bacteria is with hot water-if not all your clothes will end up smelling like B.O if you wash them in cold water with your workout clothes. :)

Penguin and Winn both make detergent designed to de-ordorize technical workout gear. Not sure where you are so can't say where to find either, but REI carries the penguin sport wash. Both will work even with cold wash/rinse cycles.
